We're camping. You know, because we never learn from our past camping trips. So, just as we pulled up to our site, the truck died. I videotaped it because I figured no one would believe me otherwise. Let's see now...the truck has burst into flames, the wheel has fallen off the truck, the fuel pump has gone out, a bracket broke, the air has gone out, once we could only drive 15 mph the whole way home, and once we crashed and both the camper and the truck flipped over. Yet, we continue to go! WHY???

this WHOLE freegin time I've read your many posts about the 'truck' breaking down on various camping trips. And each time I read the word 'truck' and I'd think to myself, how the flip do all 8 of them fit in a truck for heaven's sake? But you always camp with other families, so I just assumed some of your kids rode with your friends. Or maybe you took two cars (hello, INSANE!) Thank goodness for your video, that shows me your 'truck' is a Suburban!!

Oh well, at least Brooklyn's pink Cowboy boots came along to the camping trip. So why bother about a truck, that keeps breaking down?

We've had a lousy summer, as my husband had to work really hard and most weekends, so I envy you for your camping trip. I hope that once it gets quieter at work again, we'll get to go out of town for a weekend or so.

I can't believe that the truck broke down AGAIN ! wee, yes I can thanks to the video, but it looks like you go for the right reasons. Everyone looks to be having a blast! is that Brooklyn walking with a little friend? that is TOO CUTE!

Try a little reverse psychology on the darn thing! Plan for the truck to break down on your next camping trip and make contingency arrangements with a service garage near your campground. This way you're covered and it will probably operate without a hitch... (pun intended?)

Goodness, life is funny. We have the same suburban. I love the darn thing even with it's many 'quirks' and gas milage. We too have a camp trailer. We love to go. We are a site to behold when we come bounding out of our suburban. We have 2 grandsons who go with us and 5 dogs...We love the KOA camp in San Antonio...Great people, great site, and lots to do. Roxie
